Hairway To Steven
The second part of Matador’s reissues of the essential early records by Texas’s Butthole Surfers continues with three of their most insane slabs -- 1985’s ‘Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis,’ 1987’s ‘Locust Abortion Technician’ and 1988’s ‘Hairway to Steven.’ The period during which these records were first issued parallels the Buttholes’ transition from being weirdo Texas outcasts to becoming internationally recognized smut-kings of the American underground. In 1985 they were still the sole p…
Geogaddi
Tip! "Let's talk about what makes Geogaddi different. The first thing that comes to mind is the shift in mood from the previous Boards of Canada albums. While the band continues to traffic in childhood and nostalgia, the atmosphere on this album is a shade darker than on previous releases, and comparatively tense with a noticeable thread of paranoia. Boards of Canada have always had a disorienting cast to their music, in part because of their proclivity for the quivery modulation of their analo…
Tomorrow's Harvest
*2024 stock* "After all the intrigue, hidden codes on 12" records that went on to sell for astronomical amounts of money on eBay, adverts on Cartoon Network, a song played at a Tokyo intersection, and other covert shenanigans that made the Daft Punk teaser campaign look prosaic, here I am, in the Warp offices in North West London, signing a disclaimer ahead of an exclusive listen to the new Boards Of Canada album, Tomorrow's Harvest. It's a fitting way to listen to a record by a band whose obses…
Trans Canada Highway
Tip! *2024 stock* Quality control has never been much of a problem for Boards of Canada. The duo has magnified its legacy at least partly by indulging in generous spells of inactivity. The infrequency of BoC's output has not only fed into the mythos of their carefully cultivated brand, it's also engendered a level of trust that's served as a consolatory point of pride for fans who've felt shut out by the duo's otherwise total remove from the peripheral obligations (live shows, videos, interviews…
In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country
*2024 stock* In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada. It was released by Warp and music70 on 27 November 2000, in the period between the duo's albums Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi. The four-track collection centers around the theme of the Branch Davidian religious sect and their Waco retreat. The title of the EP refers to a vocoder-processed and slowed voice sample used on the third track, which repeats "come out and live …

I'm Gonna Take You Home
The story of Father Yod, Yahowa 13 and the Source Family could literally fill books, but rest assured, they truly were the "apex of high" in terms of psychedelic music. A tale that transcends conventional music history, this legendary collective represents one of the most radical experiments in communal living and cosmic sound ever documented. The basics paint an extraordinary picture: Father Yod was a WWII flying ace and spiritual seeker who gathered his "children" around him in early 1970s Los…
The Cycle Is Complete
After leaving the Buffalo Springfield because of a drug bust, bassist Bruce Palmer released this 1970 solo album for Verve Forecast. Consisting of only four tracks, The Cycle Is Complete seamlessly explores psych, folk and jazz territories to cultivate a sound that now seems decades ahead of its time. Opening track "Alpha - Omega - Apocalypse" features vocals by Rick Matthews (later known as psychedelic soul star Rick James). An exploratory cult classic.
A really great trance psychedelic album f…
Exuma
Exuma is the debut studio album by Bahamian folk musician Exuma. It was originally released in May 1970. In the early 1960s, Exuma (born Macfarlane Gregory Anthony Mackey) had moved to Greenwich Village, New York and started playing guitar and singing in the cultivating folk rock scene developing in that area. After producer Bob Wyld came up to him offering a record deal, he chose to adopt "Exuma, the Obeah Man" as his name. Wyld adopted the pseudonym "Daddy Ya Ya" and recruited a few musicians …

Untilted
Autechre, the pioneering British electronic duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, continues their illustrious catalogue of reissues with the long-awaited return of “Untilted” (originally released 2005) as a deluxe 2LP set via Warp Records. Out of print for more than 15 years, “Untilted” re-emerges as a crucial touchstone in the ever-unfolding journey of experimental electronica.

Armageddon
Victoria One reissues "Armageddon" by The Maze, digitally restored for new audiences. Featuring original 1968 tracks plus rare bonus content, this release offers the definitive psychedelic legacy of late 60s San Francisco.
Quaristice
Autechre albums come accompanied by their own set of instructions, demanding your undivided attention, a good sound system and a sufficiently high volume to illuminate proceedings as they were initially intended. They also require a considerable ingestion period, allowing enough time for your brain and senses to catch up with the seemingly impenetrable configurations and sonic algorithm's that seem to unfold before you. Those listeners who aren't willing to invest their time and participation in…
Amber
Gatefold 2LP reissue. Unavailable on any format for far too long. Includes download code for the album and a bonus live set. Autechre's classic second album from 1994, reissued for the first time in 15 years... At bleeding’ last, Warp reissue one of their rarest gems, which Autechre themselves have referred to as conceiving as their “Warp record” - written to complement the label’s early ‘90s ambient/AI catalogue. Depending your perspective, Amber is quite possibly the most beautiful Autechre …
Draft 7.30
*2024 stock* "Draft 7.30 is the seventh album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 April 2003 by Warp Records. Around the time of the album's release, Sean Booth stated in an interview that "[rhythm] doesn't seem to limit us in the way it did when we first started"." - Wikipedia
Confield
*2024 stock* "With Confield, Sean Booth and Rob Brown largely abandoned the warm ambient sounds of their earlier works such as Amber and Tri Repetae in favour of more chaotic and abstract sound palettes and methods of composition that they had been pursuing with LP5, EP7, and Peel Session 2. Confield saw the experimental use of computer programs, specifically Max/MSP, to form the basis of songs instead of stand-alone synthesizers. According to Booth, "Most of Confield came out of experiments wit…

Sign
‘Sign’ is Autechre’s first new album-album proper since ‘Elseq’ and contains some of their most emosh compositions in eons, perhaps since ‘Tri Repetae’. Practically pocket-sized in comparison to their sprawling torrent of live material and radio recordings in recent years, ’Sign’ is a return to the sort of concision found circa ‘Exai’ and their earlier albums. Effectively they’ve gotten better to grips with their live set-up, and the hyper ideas found in their work-in-progress demonstrations on …
